I'm a student and open-source contributor, currently doing a BTech in Computer Science at Lovely Professional University, Punjab. I work with servers, infrastructure, and self-hosted systems — most of what I know came from building things like hybrid-cloud setups, IoT hardware, Linux servers, and web apps, and breaking a few of them first.
